On last Saturday afternoon, March 5th, Master Rembert Hayes entertained a number of his friends in honor of his eleventh birthday. It was an ideal spring day, and many out-door games were enjoyed by his little friends on the large lawn and the shady grove near the house. In the midst of the games, they were called to the house where amid an embankment of flowers was a punch bowl, and here they were served refreshing punch- Later in the after-' noon the. were invited to the dining room, which was a scene of beauty. The color scheme of yellow was carried out, there being bowls of yellow jonquils along with other decorations. The cake with candles was in the j center of the table, which was cover-: ed with a Cuban handmade luncheon 1 cloth. A sweet course was served, af- j ter which their fortunes were tried , with candles. About thirty friends' from Latta and the community were present. Mrs- T. C. McGee entertained the( rjiiuge V/Iud on i nursaay anernoon,. the 10th. The living and dining rooms were thrown into one large room and ' decorated in Easter lillies, snowl drops, and white hyacinths. Silver' and crystal candelabra containing dozens of pure white candles were used. Four card tables containing dain-| ty corners embroidered in pastel col-, ors, were arranged for the players.! The number of each table was desig-} nated by a rabbit holding hand painted number. Small chickens with score cards attached were placed on the; tables, with guests finding their plac^ es When all guests had arrived, iced fruit nectar was served, after which four rubbers were played. Mrs. W. D. Bethea held the highest score, and was presented by the hostess with a blooming potted Easter lilly. Tea napkins were passed by the hostess, and a course of chicken salad on hearts of lettuce, olives, pickles, .saltines, cheese straws, rosettes and small chicken shaped sandwiches, with iced tea was served. Small sil? ver trays of pink and green candles were placed on each table. Mrs. D. B. Shine and Miss Ormie Bethea assisted in receiving and serving- Those p-esent were: Mesdames W. Dal Bethea, L. L. Watson, E. R. Ellerbe, J. O. Bethea, J. C. Manship, M. K- MoNair, F. L. Carpenter, R. J. Dew, D. B. Shine,, D- C. Ed words and Miss Ormie Bethea. o News Items of Interest In an?l Around Latin. The first game of base hall of th" season between the High Schools was played Thursday afternoon between Latta and Marion 011 the Latta Diamond. Marion won by the score of 5 to 4. Battery for Marion, McEacliern and Murchison, for Latta, Floyd and LeGette. H. E, Parham who bought W. C. Parham's lot of eighty six cows some days back Is now killing about six of these cows each week, and disposing of them to the nearby markets, which if kept up at this rate will not take long to get rid of the lot- There is a goodly number of young steers in this lot of cattle that make excellent beef. A big lot of cows will scon eat their heads off, especially a* this season of the year, when there is nothing to graze on, unless they are handled quickly. The President's Mrst Sahbatli in the Willie House. Our r.ewly installed President made ^ a fine start ill the Capitol: but w-> ) question the wisdom displayed in (ho White House; for instead of emulating the example of his predecessor? Mr. Wilson?he remained at home on the Sabbath instead of attending the church services. Of course we knowthat there is a good side to hie conduct because if he had attended services his presence there would have distrached worship and perhaps done much more harm to that individual church than good, as many were there simply to see Presi- { dent Harding rather than worship King Jesus. However, the example of a professed believer, in the person of a president, to a whole na-' tlon, would hardly Justify his ab THE DILLON HERA since from church. .It seems to indicate that although he seems to be very modest, yet very conscious too. His conduct, further in contrast with hie predecessor may be traceable to the fact, that the former President was a member of a church that has always laid great stress upon the sanctity of worship and observance of the Sabbath. We do not say that Mr. Wilson was perfect in this respect; for he too. at times, was rather guilty in attending to national affairs, during the war, even after attending the services of thp rhnrnh f.. Vilr>? it might have seemed a necessity but he must have forgotten at the time that God does not sleep on Sunday, nor does he withdraw his hand from the helm of state on that day. If our new President will only practice what he has preached in his inaugural address, then we have reasons for believing that he will be the President of the United States and not of the Republican party- His position relative to the other nations is certainly very sane and inoffensive. We should all try to lay aside prejudice against him because he is not a Democrat, and instead of abusing or suspecting him. we should remember him and congress in our daily prayer; for something a thousand times worse might have happened to the South than the election of a republican president, the proof of which would fill up the pages of a good size book. We love our party, but we ought not to be blind to the dangers of any party. As to Mr. Wilson there is and has always been a difference of opinion, both North and South,, but just eliminate four collosal mistakes which we think he made, and that* is a small number ot mistakes for any president to make nil ----- ...... r.?r iiicuiii iiiai nisiory win record the fact that hp was not far from bring the greatest man the world has produced. We look upon him still as a man with a gigantic brain, though weakened by sickness; a man of supreme courage; and an extreme statesman whose vision waP slightly distorted by a seeming egotism forced upon him by the discovery that his cabinet was not as strong as he anticipated. \s a church we arP still proud of Mr. Wilson's conduct in relation to tlie sacred; but it remain; t ? be proven whether or not Mr Harding will bring reproach or glory upon his church. We hope it will be of a most fortunate character because if one suffers 'he whole universal church must share in the repoach or the honor. E. C. Bailey. o Home I>eiiionstration Department. (Conducted by Miss Etta Sue Sellers) A Porch Celery Box?There is n< phase of vegetation more easily and conveniently developed or more gratifyingly conducive to the pleasure and happiness of the home maker both from the standpoint of beauti fication and excellent food product as the Porch Celery Box. For this purpose secure a box A fee t long, 2 feet wide, and 20 inchei deep. Place on the bottom a strata ol any kind of soil 4 inches in depth as a base. Cover this with a layer ol barn yard fertilizer 4 inches deep Then fill in with 4 inches of dark sandy loam. Lay off rows 4 inches apart, and 1 inch deep. Le t stand 12 hours he fere planting the seed. Meanwhile thc seed are soaking in sweet milk foi the purpose of rapid germination and thc production of stocky plants, eacli ct which is induced by the proteir of the milk. When the time for soak ing is exhausted drain the milk from the seed and stir in a sufficiency ol soil among them to have each bear ing an accummulation or coating ol soil. Plant them sparingly in the lit tie rows already laid off. Cover seed and press soil surface down compactly Keep the box well watered ? a.soon as the soil drys out. When the plants are three inehet high, thin them out leaving thc permanent growth 4 inches apart The plants which are withdrawn may be transplanted in the garden or disposed of to other home makers. If box should be made before danger of frost is over, tacks or wire nails are driven around the edges o! the box to hold the cheese cloth covering for protection. Keep llip soil well broken between the rows with an old fork which is a Rood substitute cultivator. Apply liquid fertilizer, using poultry house excrement, or occassionally a littb nitrate of soda. This forces the plant very rapidly. If self blanching celery seed are used, the little plants will begin tr bleach when they are about six inches high. However, if any other varities are used for planting, pine needles may be placed between the rows and against the 12 inches ol box left above the surface the soil. Place these needles after thr slants have attained a growth of sis Inches and the bleaching process will begin very quickly. When the lateral spires have grown 10 or 12 inches, cut them carefully from the plant and use. In a few weeks the plant reproduces these The blossom stem should be careful 1/ cut from the crown of the tap root and used- By preventing the blooming of the plant, it continues to pro duce new, crisp spires for consecu five years, thus economizing thf household expenditure,, and increasing the Joys of the homemakers. During theso consecutive years of the growth of these plants from the original planting, the soil life i? maintained by the application of liquid fertilizer frequently between thf rows of plants. HIS HAPPY HOMK. She sews the button g on his shirts. And darns his socks with care, She never fails to be alert, His every woe to share.
